Within the framework of a modified Poisson-Boltzmann theory accounting for steric effects of microions, we prove analytically that the effective pair interactions between like-charge colloids immersed in a confined electrolyte are repulsive. Our approach encompasses and extends previously known results to the case of complete confinement, and further incorporates the finite size of the microions which is absent in the standard Poisson-Boltzmann theory.
